Recenzii
Music, in all its varieties, provides a means to make a culture understood by others, no matter how distant, and we can now listen to the music described by Ibn Kurr, thanks to the work of Owen Wright.
The publications that are planned within this project will no doubt rekindle the interest of scholars and students of Islam in Islam's rich cultural, educational and historical legacy ... The work of the Ikhwan al-Safa, like many other works that make up the classical Muslim educational thought, need to be seriously studied and reflected upon. This new publication project contributes immensely towards realizing this educational aim.
Owen Wright's new translation of and commentary on Epistle 5 of the tenth-century Rasa'il Ikhwan al-Safa (Epistles of the Brethren of Purity) is a major contribution that, like many of Wright's other works, holds value for a wide variety of both general and specialised readers. ... the disadvantages to those who cannot read Arabic are kept to an absolute minimum throughout this volume, further demonstrating Wright's skill in crafting a significant contribution to the field of Arabic music studies that can enlighten and by enjoyed by many.
